9. i always hate this, why don't those who say this run themselves |
|
there are a lot of good people out there who run for office. it takes hard work to get out there and campaign for others you support.
but to just say we deserve better always just sounded lazy to me.

in that it's not lazy. The people DO deserve better!
Sure, there are good people out there. But we need campaign finance reform, because the game is rigged. No real progressive policies will ever materialize without it. That is my point. The game was rigged by the people who wrote the laws. The system sucks. That doesn't automatically mean the people also suck.
